Welcome to the Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School Counselor's page!  

I'm your school counselor, Mrs. Surman! This is my sixth year at DDE Middle School. I knew I wanted to be a school counselor since I was in middle school so it is a dream come true to be working with middle school students. I want you all to know that I am always here to help. Please do not hesitate to call or email me with any questions or concerns:

School Counselor Mission Statement: The mission of the Dwight D. Eisenhower School Counseling Program is to serve as an advocate for all students at DDE. My goal is to provide a comprehensive counseling program that focuses on academic, career and social development. As middle school is a period growth and discovery of self identity, it is important to empower our students to maximize their potential and excel in a diverse society.   

As a Professional School Counselor, I will work with students on an individual basis, in small groups and in their classrooms.  The focus of the counseling program is to enhance academic skills, career awareness, and personal/social skills.  We also attend parent-teacher conferences at the request of the parent/guardian or teacher, as our schedule allows.
